  Whether on official cycle paths, abandoned railways or quiet country roads, the rides in the 25 Cycle Routes series bring a fresh perspective to the areas covered. With useful cycling tips, a Foreword by the Cyclists Touring Club, easy-to-follow instructions and specially prepared colour route maps and photographs, the books in the series can be used with confidence and will give many hours of enjoyable cycling. In and Around Glasgow is one of the most popular in the 25 Cycle Routes series. Scotland's largest city and its surrounding countryside offer many opportunities for exhilirating cycle runs. From the semi-rural charm and easy cycling of the Forth-Clyde Canal to the wild heights of northern Ayrshire, and from the wooded parklands of Mugdock and the Carron Forest to the Victorian grandeur of the city centre, the variety of rides is wide and unexpected. The bestselling first edition of In and Around Glasgow opened up the area for novice and experienced cyclists alike. This new edition takes full advantage of the work that has recently been done to promote cycling in central Scotland and the creation of officially designated cycle routes. Completely revised and rewritten by well-known author and Chief Executive of Cycling Scotland, Erl Wilkie, it gives cyclists the freedom of the city and its surroundings.
